Yesterday I experienced it from a neck-cracking incident that happened at the barber. It was at the end of my haircut at my usual barber (although a different guy), when he held my skull in both hands and did a sudden jerking movement to the right to crack the spine. At that moment, I was stunned and did not know how to react because I would have thought he would ask me for consent before doing that. He went on to do the neck crack in the other direction. When that finished, I felt really uncomfortable and t started I began to feel angry inside. I did not confront him because I thought it might be his usual practice. But in my mind, I was fuming with anger knowing that I could have been paralyzed by this dangerous maneuver. I was worried that something might happen to me, not right away, but some time later, as I read articles of people who had neck cracks and subsequently required mechanical breathing support for the rest of their lives because their diaphragm stopped working. phrenic nerve damage, loss of breathing function.
I never liked any of these 'chiropractic adjustments' because I never once believed in any of that shit. "Releasing muscle tightness", "Readjusting the joints" and all that bullshit. The act of having your neck twisted has far too many risks - vertebral artery dissection, brain damage from carotid artery blockage, and cervical spine damage.
Today I woke up, and as I did not feel any discomfort, I felt grateful that I was alive and well. We seldom stop to think that life is precious and pause to appreciate the gift of life we are given. I'm just glad that nothing went wrong.
